russ feingold for president? i love the guy, but i said months ago |
|
that this country will not elect a jew and with all the anti-semitism i'm finding here on DU and out in the public, i think i was right. i have also said that i felt Leiberman hurt gore. even though gore really won, i feel he would have won with a bigger margin if he had someone else as a running mate.
PLEASE prove me wrong.

Not all of DU or half of DU, or a even a group of Duers. Get it?
And no... I don't want you to leave.
"Get lost"=bullcrap

|
that Israel should not be allowed to bomb the hell out of a country? Do you really believe that people here would not support Russ because of the actions of Israel? Are you friggin' serious?

18. Not even "anti-Israel"... |
|
... but "anti-Israeil gov't," or, to be even more specific, "anti-RW Israeil gov't."

As much as we like think people are enlightened, they are not. Neither a woman nor a jew will be elected President anytime soon.

7. the public at large hasn't taken sides in the ME conflict |
|
the percentage of people who have heard of AIPAC, much less suspect the motivations of any Jewish candidate, is approximately zero.
DU is not representative, don't worry about it.

11. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't see anti-semitic remarks here |
|
I see some think Israel is engaged in over-kill, but that is hardly anti-Semitic.
Your anti-semitic charge is the same thing the pugs use.
Disagree with the war and you hate America or don't support the troops.
Feingold would make a great president and most people don't care about his ethnicity.

Just because people object to Israels actions doesn't make them anti-semetic. This charge always comes up in Israel related threads, and it's always a red herring.

20. In the long run it really doesn't matter because the DLC will choose the |
|
Democratic candidate, convince us all to work like hell for him/her and then decide if they want the Dem or Repub to win...because IT'S ALL THE SAME DAMNED PARTY!
Ariel Sharon said before his stroke that, "Israel controls America," and although it has been said that this has been proven to be unfounded, I have found no convincing truth that he did NOT say it. And frankly, after the behavior of our Dem Party leaders this week, I believe it.
I think that those who think only a small number of people feel this way are in for quite a surprise.

And neither ex-wife will say one bad word about him.
(His more recent ex-wife told me that directly; I will take her word for it.)

28. I didn't know about 3 divorces. That might hurt |
|
One could say that he is very optimistic.
Is he available now? He's my type and I don't
feel the need to marry again. I gave up after one try.

36. Catmother, thanks for sending me here from the other thread |
|
in I/P. I didn't know he was Jewish; never thought of it , to tell you the truth. I guess when I listen to people that's all I do. I don't sit there and think... I wonder if he's a presbyterian or I wonder about his nationality.
I think there was at least one thread somewhere here in the last few days where people were dissing him because he came out for Israel's self defense. Before that, I thought he was one of the darlings of these boards.
